Harry Kane helped negotiate a huge bonus package that will see England's players share £15million if they win the World Cup.
The Three Lions captain was among the senior figures involved in talks over a record payout before the tournament, with England aiming to lift the trophy for the first time since 1966.
If Thomas Tuchel's side go all the way, every member of the 26-man squad will receive around £577,000 on top of their winners' medal.
The total bonus pot represents a major rise from the arrangement in place at the 2022 World Cup, when England's players would have shared around £8m had they won the tournament in Qatar.
England were eventually knocked out by France in the quarter-finals, but expectations are once again high as Tuchel's side attempt to end decades of hurt.
The increase has been agreed after the FA learned it would receive a record payment if England become world champions.
FIFA is set to pay £38m to the winners of the tournament, up from the £32m Argentina received after their triumph four years ago.

Kane and his team-mates are not the only ones in line for a major windfall.
Tuchel will reportedly receive a £3m bonus if he follows Sir Alf Ramsey by leading England to World Cup glory.
